Abstract

An acetic acid bacterium, strain LMG 27439, was isolated from fermenting lambic beer. The cells were Gram-stain-negative, motile rods, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed the strain was closely related to (99.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the type strain of this species), (99.6 %), (99.6 %), (99.4 %) and (99.2 %). DNA–DNA hybridization with the type strains of these species revealed moderate DNA–DNA hybridization values (31–45 %). Strain LMG 27439 was unable to grow on glycerol or methanol as the sole carbon source, on yeast extract with 10 % ethanol or on glucose-yeast extract medium at 37 °C. It did not produce acid from -arabinose, -galactose or -mannose, nor did it produce 2-keto--gluconic acid, 5-keto--gluconic acid or 2,5-diketo--gluconic acid from -glucose. It did not grow on ammonium as the sole nitrogen source and ethanol as the sole carbon source. These genotypic and phenotypic data distinguished strain LMG 27439 from established species of the genus , and therefore we propose this strain represents a novel species of the genus . The name sp. nov. is proposed, with LMG 27439 ( = DSM 27328) as the type strain.
